    Z- 92% tracking it's Pru, I've never had a problem either but I know others have had hassle.

    Personally I'd go for it - clear your cookies before going into Quidco - only one browser window open - you know the drill....

    Though saying that, there are sometimes problems with cashback...

    IA, just paying as a one off payment - it's cheaper that way.

    Both me and mum had Pru pay out last December (2006) pay out for car insurance

    how do you manage to get orange wednesday offer? i'm with them and have tried to send them my email addy (old freeserve) and it just says we do not recognise you! argh it's so frustrating.

    You need to send them a username as opposed to email addy.... i.e. if you are [EMAIL="lemon.tree@freeserve.co.uk"]lemon.tree@freeserve.co.uk[/EMAIL] , you should probably be tree.freeserve.co.uk or something like that, you'll have a note of it somewhere. it's vaguely related to your email addy but not the same.

    They explain it on http://orangewednesdays.orange.co.uk/wednesdays/broadband
    Step 1:
    You need to register for the service.
    First off you’ll need to register with us, using your unique user name. Your unique user name is the part of your Orange email address that comes after the '@' symbol. So if your email address is [EMAIL="john@smith.orangehome.co.uk"]john@smith.orangehome.co.uk[/EMAIL], your unique user name is smith.orangehome.co.uk. Or if your email address is [EMAIL="karen@slade.freeserve.co.uk"]karen@slade.freeserve.co.uk[/EMAIL], your unique user name is slade.freeserve.co.uk. The same applies to Wanadoo email addresses

    Hope that helps....

    Is there nothing you could use to clear it out?

    I've tried almost everything with no joy. Only option is to see if i can ring them again and get a new drum fitted like last time but i'm not sure just how long the Hotpoint parts guarentee is for.

    Wow, what a nice predicament Gemmzie!!

    Don't Amazon do electricals, kitchen ware n stuff, aren't you needing anything for the house? (do you have a slow cooker?!)

    Wedding gifts this summer etc?

    Treat yourself to a couple of new tunes too of course, and maybe a book!?
